50th BIRTHDAY BASH - CELEBRATING IN SOUTH AFRICA WITH STYLE!


Thanks to Andrew and Claire from DMC sports travel (www.dmcsportstravel.co.za) for organizing this  fabulously 50th Birthday bash.  It is not often that you see both adults and kids enjoying the festivities with equal enthusiasm. Andrews idea of adding a plunge pool for the kids to enjoy the picnic views on offer at Warwick wine estate was an epic one. 
Happy 50th to Joanne--this 1st pic's especially for you Birthday Girl.
